PURE RACE MEETS MIXED-BLOOD BOYS
New York, Allied Printing Trade Council, 1943? Item #26680
1st separate edition. Single sheet (Broadside/Flyer). 8.5 x 11 inches, 28 cm. Holocaust era reprint from the New York Sun, a satirical wartime poem with drawings ridiculing notions of racial purity and celebrating American ethnic mixing--including with Jews--as a source of strength.
Includes illustrations by Nat Falk. One cartoon shows four servicemen labled "Casey, Cohen, Serati, Schmalz" walking into a gateway--and out the other side marches a proud "G.I.".
One verse goes,
When Fritz (his pedigree so straight) went forth to spread his wrath
He was amazed to find a super-slugger in his path:
This son of Olga Yacowicz and Jacob Peter Lutz,
(Whose grandma was a Sullivan, whose uncle was a Glutz),
Could take it like a Finnerty and give it like a Grant,
And do it for a pin-up girl named Mercedes Levant;
Before such blood streams Fritzie quickly took it on the lam–
Oh, dynamite runs freely in the veins of Uncle Sam!
